the eastbound lanes of 92. it looks like it's just eastbound from foster city boulevard out towards the toll plaza. but look at that camera. it's so early and traffic is so light it isn't causing much of a delay up the high-rise and heading into hayward. westbound 92 by the way is fine, as well. in the commute direction. so we just checked in with caltrans and apparently the reopened the ramp a little ahead of schedule. that ramp is reopened from westbound 37 to southbound 101. it was set until about 6:00 this morning for ongoing roadwork in the area. you know it if commute that area but right now everything is open and goes all the way towards the golden gate bridge. there is some roadwork in southbound 101 various lanes blocked from the waldo tunnel through the waldo grade but as you can see traffic again still light into the san francisco. they reopened more southbound 101 lanes. they had the lane change trucks out there about 10 minutes ago so everything is free and clear all the way down towards doyle drive. mass transit always a great option maybe on a friday. we have critical mass by the

way in san francisco later on this evening. so you may want to consider mass transit and so far everything is off to a nice start for bart, ace, muni, caltrain and ferries. back to you guys. folks on the east coast are preparing for what some forecasters are calling a "frankenstorm." a combination of arctic air, winter storm and hurricane. hurricane sandy is blamed for more than 20 deaths in cuba, haiti and jamaica. forecasters say the combined monster storm will have an impact from coastal carolina to maine as far inland as ohio. for now hurricane sandy is having an effect on much of south florida. rescue crews are warning people to like to brave the waves. >> we are hoping to discourage surfers from going in. really severe rip currents. >> forecasters say much of the u.s. east coast will likely

this presidential campaign has passed the $2 billion mark when it comes to fundraising. fundraising reports submitted last night show president obama and mitt romney have brought in about $1.7 billion so far. in addition, there's about $300 million in donations involving so-called super packs and tens of millions more are going to nonprofit groups that don't have to disclose their donors. 5:10. coming up, bad news for apple investors. it's a big day for microsoft. which tech company will finish the week a winner? >> plus, is it or isn't it? what we're now learning about that rock that was found in a nevada woman's backyard. >> and this gives new meaning to the term, lunch break. what happened when a deer crashed into the mississippi office building. ,,,,

the yellow ones are now below 40 miles per hour. drive time 15 minutes to the dublin interchange. we have cameras everywhere this morning. if you are coming down the peninsula right past candlestick all the way towards sfo, traffic is moving fine all along 101, 280 is moving fine as well all the way down through san mateo county. and back out towards the east bay this is a live look at the nimitz. so the oakland coliseum is somewhere there in the distance and taillights are northbound traffic towards downtown oakland. southbound 880 is fine if you have an early-morning flight out of oakland airport and continues to move well past that towards hayward. here's one more live look, a look at the golden gate bridge where they reopened more southbound 101 lanes doyle drive from san francisco now free and clear both directions. that's a check of your opinion "timesaver traffic." with lawrence so far this morning live at the oakland zoo

that ridge will continue to build in not only today but right through the weekend and the temperatures are going to soar. looks like if you are heading around the state not a bad day to travel. up in the high country they have seen lots of snow over 3 feet of snow in some of the mountaintops there so if you want to go check out the early snow this year you can do that. i think the the roads will be wide open. in the south bay temperatures in the 60s and a few 70s. i think as you make your way toward the east bay you will see some of the warmest temperatures. mid-70s and upper 70s in the hottest spots. inside the bay, a lot of sunshine all day long. and some very comfortable weather, too. lots of 60s showing up there. so toward the next seven days, some changes in the weather. i think the weekend looking great likely going to see some low 80s in the warmest spots inland and then we'll cool down on tuesday. some spooky looking clouds begin to roll in toward wednesday which is halloween. and there's a chance we could see some showers. then we dry out after that. if you want though check out boo at the zoo, you're more
